ou don’t join a main bracket until you select an end time. The amount of people in your bracket should be in a red band above the black band that states how much time is left in the event. It is easiest to just check the last post in the thread, to see what the latest info someone has provided. If the time zone settings in your user profile are correct, you should be able view the time the person posted, to see how current their info is. There is a possibility of multiple brackets filling side by side, so join a “fresh” bracket at your own risk.
Useful info to provide
1)Time slice you are in
2)Current amount of people in bracket
3)Leader in bracket with amount of points
4)Time you joined the event, if it was not right before posting in the thread.
Time slice - _______
Current bracket - _______ people
Leader - _______ (name) / _______ points
Full bracket = PLAYERS: 1000

Sub 3: Los Angeles & Sub 4: Wakanda
Sub 5: Washington DC & Sub 6: Hell's Kitchen
Sub 7: Thunderbolts Mountain[/spoiler]
probably won’t join until mid-afternoon (mountain time), but will certainly update slice 2 then
EDIT: just joined slice 2 @3:30, i am #866 and the leader is ninjagumbi w/ 6689 pts
EDIT #2: an hour later, bracket has 924; after almost clearing (missed the carnage essential) i have 2480 in manhattan, ranked #29 overall, and first is still ninjagumbi w/ 7056.
slice 5 at 169 (I assume vet, but skipped half of last pve and still ended up ~90th). I’m tied at lead with timad26i with 2680 pts, which is full clear minus the carnage essential.
slice 5 that flipped a couple hrs ago is up to 503. leader is alexdorg at 5806 (there is some grinding on the initial clear by at least the top 7 guys). full clear gives 2990. will try and notice when it fills.
